Internet (1969)
Invented by a team of engineers

The internet began in 1969 as a small network that joined four university computers in California and Utah. The first message sent across it was supposed to be "LOGIN," but the computer crashed after the first two letters, so the very first message was "LO."

The World Wide Web came later, in 1989, when a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee, working at a research lab in Switzerland, invented a way to link pages together. Those links make a web, so the spider in the picture picked a good place to hang out.
